Utah's wildlife license plates

Show off your sense of style and your favorite wildlife — all while helping support Utah's wildlife heritage — by purchasing a Utah wildlife license plate!

Most of the funding used to manage Utah's wildlife comes from license and permit sales. But, Utahns can also support the species they care about by purchasing a wildlife license plate.

Where license plate funds go

The money from your wildlife specialty plates will help ensure that wildlife in Utah is maintained for present and future generations. Each plate's revenues support a specific program within the Division. The mule deer and elk plates support big game management, the trout plate supports fisheries management and the kestrel plate supports non-game species.

How much license plates cost

When you switch to a wildlife license plate, a portion of the cost will be donated directly to the Division, and a portion will be collected by the Utah Department of Motor Vehicles. Of your annual registration renewal, $25 will be donated to the Division each year.
